The Property
Beechwood Cottage is a charming property, formerly part of the Duke of Westminster's Estate, with origins dating back circa 1750. The property has since been extended circa 1979 with the addition of a two-storey northern wing and an outrigger to the eastern elevation.
The property retains many original features with some exposed beamed ceilings, open fireplaces, whilst benefiting from uPVC double glazing throughout.
The Accommodation
An attractive arch topped door opens into a reception area with stairs to the first floor and doors leading to the lounge and sitting room.
The lounge is particularly generous having twin aspects, exposed beamed ceilings and a noteworthy open basket fireplace within an exposed brick chimney piece with oak overmantel. Across the hallway is a charming sitting room also enjoying an exposed beamed ceiling and cast-iron open fireplace within an oak fire surround with natural stone hearth. This room benefits from a bespoke mahogany bookcase to one chimney recess and a ledge and brace door gives access to under stairs storage.
The kitchen sits to the rear of the house, with an easterly aspect and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wooden cabinets with an array of appliances including an integral fridge and freezer, a ceramic electric hob with extractor hood and built under electric oven. A stable door gives access to a well-proportioned dining room, also having an exposed beamed ceiling and superb views to the rear gardens.
The staircase rises to a most spacious galleried landing providing access to all four double bedrooms; the master bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes with pitch-pine panelled doors. Bedroom 2 benefits from a vanity pitch-pine sink unit.
A spacious bathroom is fitted with a coloured suite comprising a pedestal wash hand basin, low level WC and an accessible shower cabinet with electric shower.
Outside
The property sits behind a mature clipped hedge set well back from the road. A gravel driveway leads to the side of the property providing parking for numerous vehicles, in turn giving access to the garage with adjoining workshop, general store, boiler room and gardener's WC. The outbuilding extends to approximately 52 sq m (560 sq ft) and benefits from electricity and water and offers scope for a multitude of uses.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property being of excellent size, mainly laid to lawn with a variety of specimen trees. At one end of the garden is an enclosed established orchard including damson, pear, Bramley apple and eating apple trees. To the rear of the property is a granite sett laid terrace with a brick-built barbeque and wood store. A path leads along the outbuildings to an additional hardstanding, presenting opportunities.
